Answer:
An autosomal dominant gene is one that occurs on an autosomal (non-sex determining) chromosome. As it is dominant, the phenotype it gives will be expressed even if the gene is heterozygous.
The chances of an autosomal dominant disorder being inherited are 50% if one parent is heterozygous (NL) for the mutant gene and the other is homozygous for the normal (NN), or 'wild-type', gene. This is because the offspring will always inherit a normal gene from the parent carrying the wild-type genes, and will have a 50% chance of inheriting the mutant gene from the other parent. If the mutant gene is inherited, the offspring will be heterozygous for the mutant gene, and will suffer from the disorder. If the parent with the disorder is homozygous for the gene, the offspring produced from mating with an unaffected parent will always have the disorder.

Explanation:
Natural killer cells (NK cells) are a type of lymphocyte and also a component of innate immune system. NK cells play various functions in immune system and they play a major role in the host-rejection in virally infected cells.
NK cells are activated in response to interferons and also by various other responses. NK cells work to by secreting IFNγ and TNFα. Natural killer cells play a very important role in early host defense against viruses.
Without lysosomes, the cell would not be able to break down no longer functioning cellular components, other wastes, or foreign invaders. The buildup of those wastes would kill the cell, as would a pathogen that cannot be killed by that cell.
